| Abstract | ||
| Two-dimensional computer simulations are carried out to demonstrate the essential features of observing extrasolar planet nearby star. It has been shown that the wings of the point spread function of the optical telescope play an important rule in suppressing the features that related to the planet. The planet lies beneath these wings and the final image that recorded by an optical telescope looks like a star. Quantitative assessment of observing planet nearby star at different relative brightness and separation are demonstrated in this study. | ||
